Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent and thorough
I had severe hand pain and Dr. Gilley thoroughly examined it, listened carefully to my concerns, took x-rays and personally referred me to a Rheumatoid doctor who is treating me effectively.

I was referred to Dr. Gilley for a fractured finger. It turned out that I needed surgery. She spent so much time with me that I felt guilty. I really didn't want to have the surgery thinking it was only a finger, but she showed me what she was going to do and the reasons it really needed to be done, all the while respecting my decision. I have never had a Dr. that was as attentive as her. Her bedside manner is amazing! She's very down to earth and extremely easy to talk to. We need more Drs. like her and hands down would say she is a real Gem - Northwestern should be proud to have her on staff!!!

Dr. Gilley is a very caring, competent doctor that has your best interests at heart. Her hands-on approach to diagnosing and providing treatment plans as part of a larger team of doctors stands out in this age of "packaged" medicine. She is one of the top Docs on the North Shore.
